Here’s one of my favorite stories. From 2009:

Jet was my Jack Russell.

Who was it that said he loved the Effie duck hunting strip? I think this must be what he was referring to:

Speaking of which, I am working on a new Sundays collection, and I think this strip will be in it. I expect to have the book ready by early November.

And here’s something you might be interested in. I’m going to make all my dailies books available in Kindle. I looked at the process today, and I don’t know for sure how complicated it is. It they were books in text, the process would be very straight forward. But it seems I have to go through a whole new rigamarole to get the job done. I’ll have an idea in a couple of weeks about how involved it is. After I’m done with the dailies, I’ll do the Sundays and then my single panel magazine collections.

Years later I did a Dr. Heimlich Sunday and sent it to him. It was shortly after he performed his famous maneuver on an old lady at the nursing home where he lived. He passed away shortly afterwards.

Ladies, does your husband’s snoring keep you awake all night long? Pay attention this week and you’ll learn how to put an end to it.

Boy do I ever know how snoring can keep you awake. Are you familiar with Peter Steiner? He’s an old friend and fellow cartoonist. Until he retired he was a New Yorker regular. He’s also written some mystery novels since then. He also painted that portrait of me that I’ve shown you. A very talented man. Well, many years ago we went to France together and shared hotel rooms. Boy, what misery. I know how snoring can ruin your night’s sleep. He kept waking me up. “Bud, you’re snoring again!”
